Habakuk 2
1 Stat ću na stražu svoju, postavit se na bedem, paziti što će mi reći, kako odgovorit na moje tužbe.
I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2 Tada Jahve odgovori i reče: “Zapiši viđenje, ureži ga na pločice, da ga čitač lako čita.”
The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
3 Jer ovo je viđenje samo za svoje vrijeme: ispunjenju teži, ne vara; ako stiže polako, čekaj, jer odista će doći i neće zakasniti!
For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
4 Gle: propada onaj čija duša nije pravedna, a pravednik živi od svoje vjere.
Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
5 Bogatstvo je odista podmuklo! Ohol je i ne može počinuti tko ždrijelo razvaljuje k'o Podzemlje, tko je kao smrt nezasitan, tko sabire za se sve narode, tko kupi za se sva plemena! (Sheol h7585)
Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 Zar mu se neće svi podrugivati, rugalicu i zagonetku spjevat' protiv njega? Reći će: Jao onom tko množi što nije njegovo (a dokle će?) i opterećuje se zalogama!
Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’
7 Neće li naglo ustat' vjerovnici tvoji, neće li se probuditi ljuti tvoji tlačitelji? Tada ćeš im plijen biti!
Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
8 Jer si opljačkao mnoge narode, sav ostatak naroda opljačkat će tebe, jer si prolio krv ljudsku, poharao zemlju, grad i sve mu žitelje.
Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
9 Jao onom tko otimačinu zgrće nepravednu kući svojoj, da visoko svije gnijezdo svoje i otkloni ruku zla!
Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
10 Nanese sramotu kući svojoj: zatirući mnoga plemena, griješiš protiv sebe.
You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11 Jer iz samih zidova kamen kriči, a krovna mu greda odgovara.
For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
12 Jao onom tko grad diže krvlju i tvrđavu zasnuje na nepravdi!
Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Nije li to, gle, od Jahve nad Vojskama da se narodi za oganj trude, puci nizašto muče?
Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 Jer će se zemlja napuniti znanja o slavi Jahvinoj kao što vode prekrivaju more.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Jao onom tko bližnjeg navodi na piće, ulijeva otrov dok on pije da bi promatrao njegovu nagost!
“Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
16 Ti si pijan od sramote, ne od slave! Pij samo i pokazuj kapicu. Dolazi ti pehar iz desnice Jahvine i sramota na slavu tvoju!
You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 Nasilje nad Libanonom tebe će prestraviti, pokolj zvijeri, jer si ljudsku krv prolio, poharao zemlju, grad i njegove žitelje.
For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
18 Čemu koristi tesan lik da ga umjetnik teše? Čemu lijevan lik, lažno proroštvo, da se tvorac njegov u nj pouzdaje oblikujuć' nijeme kipove?
“What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
19 Jao onom tko komadu drva kaže: “Probudi se!” Kamenu nijemom: “Preni se!” On da prorokuje? Optočen može biti i zlatom i srebrom, ali nikakva daha životnog nema u njemu.
Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
20 Ali je Jahve u svojem svetom Hramu: nek' zemlja sva zašuti pred njime!
But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
